Considerations: Migrating IT policies, profiles, and groups from a source server

A migration from a 
BlackBerry UEM
 source copies the following items to the destination database:
  • Selected IT policies
  • Email profiles
  • Wi-Fi
     profiles
  • VPN profiles
  • Proxy profiles
  • BlackBerry Dynamics
     profiles
  • CA certificate profiles
  • Shared certificate profiles
  • SCEP profiles
  • User credential profiles
  • Certification authority settings
  • Any policies and profiles that are associated with the policies and profiles you select
For groups from 
BlackBerry UEM
, user, role, and software configuration assignments, and 
BlackBerry
 OS attributes are not migrated.
A migration from a 
Good Control
 (standalone) source copies the following items to the destination database:
  • Policy sets
  • Connectivity profiles
  • App groups
  • App usage (for certificates)
  • Certificates

BlackBerry UEM

When you migrate 
BlackBerry UEM
 IT policies, profiles, and groups to another domain, consider the following guidelines:
Item
Considerations
IT policy passwords
If any of the source IT policies you selected for 
Android
 devices has a minimum password length of less than 4 or more than 16, no 
BES12
 or 
BlackBerry UEM
 IT policies or profiles can be migrated. Deselect or update the source IT policy and restart the migration.
Profile names
After migration, you must make sure that all SCEP, user credential, shared certificate, or CA certificate profiles have unique names. If two profiles of the same type have the same name, you must edit one of the profile names.
Directory groups
To migrate directory groups, the source database and destination database must each have only one directory configured. This directory must be configured the same way on both the source and destination database. If the directories are not set up this way, directory groups are not migrated.
Nested groups
If the source and destination databases are 
BES12
 or 
BlackBerry UEM
 databases that have been integrated with 
BES5
, you cannot migrate nested user groups. If you try to migrate nested groups, other groups, profiles, and PKI configuration information might not be migrated.

Good Control
 (standalone)

When you migrate 
Good Control
 (standalone) security policy sets, connectivity profiles, app groups, and certificates to 
BlackBerry UEM
, consider the following guidelines:
Item
Considerations
Policy sets
After migration, each 
Good Control
 policy set appears as the following items in 
BlackBerry UEM
:
  • an app configuration for each app in the policy set
  • a security policy
  • a compliance policy
Connectivity profiles
When 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 connectivity profiles are migrated from 
Good Control
 (standalone) to 
BlackBerry UEM
, the values from the App servers tab are not migrated. The values are populated using the default values from the destination UEM server, the same as when manually creating a new 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 connectivity profile in UEM.
When 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 connectivity profiles are migrated from 
Good Control
 (standalone) to 
BlackBerry UEM
, some of the values from the Infrastructure tab are not migrated. The administrator must manually edit each migrated profile and set the values for the Primary 
BlackBerry Proxy
 cluster and the Secondary 
BlackBerry Proxy
 cluster.
App groups
The Everyone group is migrated but has no users assigned to it and is not related to the All Users group on the destination 
BlackBerry UEM
. The administrator must manually assign it to users if needed.
Apps
If an app entitlement from the source server doesn't exist in the destination server, that app assignment is not migrated. The app group is migrated.
App usage (for certificates)
App usage is migrated, except for:
  • App usages that already exist on the destination server
  • Non-
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps
  • Custom apps from another 
    Good Control
     organization
